Hi. I would like to add keyboard shortcuts to various applications I use under OS X... any way to do this directly to the application (such as Eudora, etc.) or, if not, what's the best utility that has low system useage overhead.

Thanks!

but this looked like it actually ran a prog in the background and I was hoping to just edit the actual app. I will look again and see if I misread it.

For Cocoa apps this is easy (I don't know about Carbon ones... never looked into it).

If your App is Cocoa, go into the application bundle and find the "MainMenu.nib" file (it could be named something else, but this is the default name, which most use). Open it in "Interface Builder" which is free with the OS X Developer Tools. From there, you can easily add whatever keyboard shortcuts you like to any menu command you like.
